This Is the answer made by the Dem ocrats when asked what they . will do next December. , . . Representative John N. Oarner, of Texas, Democratic whip, is authority for the statement that at a conference of the leaders just after the meeting of congress, December 6,, it waa decided that if the Democrats were to keep faith and carry out their pledgee In the next house It would be necessary to per fect the organization at the earliest pos sible moment and the way to do this was to arrange for a party caucua, such as is held when the house is organ ized just before the opening of a new congress; Hence the call for the caucus which will be held here tomorrow.: It is to be a full party caucua, the 82 members elect who enter upon the discharge of their duties next December being ur gently invited to attend to take part in the selection of the ways and means committee, the selection of the rules committee, and the committee on com mittees. Harmony Is Expected. With few exceptions the Democrats are confident that the caucus will be not only harmonious, but will result In reaching an understanding, the outcome of which will be a solid front against the opposition, and a line up for the campaign of 1912. While there Is much Interest in the proposed committee on committees, which 1b to relieve the speaker from the task of making these appointments, the real work of the caucus, the work that deeply concerns the future of the Democrats, Is the selection of the ways and means committee.

In the past the legislature of Oregon has been the train ing school for United States senators and congressmen, and gossips around the capitol are busy with the names of numerous lawmakers assembled here who are said to be willing and waiting for the call to Washington. Dan J. Malarkey, who is practically floor 'leader of the victorious progres sive majority in the senate, is regarded as a probable aspirant for the seat of Jonathan Bourne In the United States senate. In the 'primary fight a vigor ous foe of the assembly, he fell in line for Bowermari and established a claim to regularity In , the succeeding battle. Despite his defeat for governor and his more recent turn-down for president of the state senate, Jay Boworman Is being talked of as a candidate for the place of Bourne, whom he tried to make an Issue In his disastrous campaign. Another state senator suspected of aspirations for, a seat at Washington is W. A. Dimick of Clackamas, one of the staunch progressives. .
